USURP - Usurp Art Gallery and Studios



Rub-A-Dubstep is not only about pushing Dubstep but also projects that aim to promote art in new and innovative ways.

We've recently noticed a group called USURP holding events at Trinity in Harrow. The Night is called Breaks, Beer and Shakespear mixing spoken word, with Breakcore, Glitchcore, IDM and Dubstep and is headed up by Natalie 'N-Core' Leer. This instantly caught our eye because they play Dubstep as well as other forms of breaks and were doing it in a different way. Read on to find out a bit more about the people behind it.

USURP is a not for profit organisation partnered with The Adivasi Arts Trust and Tokyo Rinpa Eshidan.

"Usurp Gallery is the only contemporary art space in Harrow - an area that has the most diverse range of languages and one of the largest Asian populations in the UK. Usurp is providing exhibition space, producing performances, film and sound art events, and facilitating artist residencies.

Open to experimental ideas in all media, Usurp supports artists to collaborate with communities in research and action. They actively encourage a wide range of audiences to participate in the creation of artworks that challenge conformity, prejudice and discrimination."

Well there you have it an introduction to USURP - We will be featuring them every day this week till Friday.

What's in a name

Greetings my fellow DubHeads,

May I please take your attention away from the wobbles and waaarps we all love so much to ask your opinion on something.

This is something we have been giving much thought to and as we have put this blog together for you we think it's only right that you have a say in what this blog is called.

Do we stick with Rub-A-Dubstep or Mind the Dubstep.

Now please leave your comments and if you can please vote in the poll.

Thank you

You may now return to your Wobbles and Waaarps

DJ Highlight: Soap Dodgers


Soap Dodgers (15MIL & 4B2) are Dubstep producers/DJ's from West London. They have been making music now for about a year
and already have compiled a guest mix for Futurism Recordings (Watson & Deadly) radio show. They are rapidly buiding a big repuatation for themselves.

When we first heard their mix we were more than impressed. We like their outlook and we think they have the best name ever, Dirty by name, Dirty by nature. Their production style brings the fun back into dubstep and no doubt their mix will have you skankin out like a mad man on speed!

Soap Dodgers salute you!

Listen to the mix for yourself
